January 23rd, 2012
Do you really need a fancy, specially-designed gadget to brew up a batch of cold coffee? Or can you just use your trusty ol’ press pot? While we carry a couple of different cold brew options (from Hario and Sowden), we wanted to see if using one of them (namely, the Sowden) produced a better, [...]  Velton’s Holiday Blend – 2011
December 14th, 2011
It’s our favorite time of the year — Velton’s limited edition Holiday Blend is back! This year, Velton says he was inspired by fruitcake, combining two fruity coffees in a 50/50 blend that we found to have very chocolatey and berry flavors throughout. Watch Gail & Allison brew a couple of cups using Hario pourovers. [...] The Great SCG Pour Over Competition

June 21st, 2010
We spent an afternoon up at Hario USA (now Roustabout Products) earlier this year and posted a wide array of videos from that field trip. But there’s nothing like a Gail review, is there? So we asked her to show us the ropes on how to use one of the Hario pour overs. Watch as she talks to us about the process and whips up a smooth cup of coffee using Velton’s Twilight Blend. Delish! Video Crew Review: Hario Cold Brew
June 8th, 2010
When the weather starts heating up, we love nothing better than a rich iced coffee drink. Seriously — nothing. In the past, we have be known to brew espresso directly into an iced cup or pour out hot-brewed drip or press coffee into an iced cup, knowing that there would be dilution in the mix.
